ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Do You Have an ALARM File in Place? - 08/29/15 12:23 AM
 
 
I just read a blog about meeting "a prospect" at a vacant property.   WE do NOT do that in our office. We
"C I T O" them (Come into the office) before we go out to show them property.  There have been many bad things to happen to agents in North Carolina and I am sure that it is the same across the country. 
 
We had a robbery go wrong last year and an agent was killed.  That has put us all on edge. 
 
WE have a plan in place, that if we feel uncomfortble when out showing...WE call the office and ask for … (25 comments)

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: If YOU price it Right...It will sell! - 08/12/15 04:35 AM
 
One of the biggest things that we are faced with still in our area, is the dreams of what was going on in 2004 and  2005.  That day is gone.
What we have to do as a Realtor and as a professional is to educate our buyers as to TODAY'S Market.  We all sold properties in 2005 that we are having to sell for half of what they sold during the HayDAys!
When I have a seller  to call me and say that they bought in 2005 and HAVE to SELL  right a way..I just cringe.
Who knew?  This is a nationwide happening, not a local problem.

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Yes....It's another Saturday night...and I ain't got no money... - 08/08/15 11:44 AM
Love that song.  Used to sing it a  lot. 
But  today is a rejuvenating day for me.  I have just enjoyed the day.  Not doing anything that I don't have today.  Although I may need to can figs preserves tonight.  But basically, I am having a day off.
The only thing that i have to do later in the day...is to go to the deck with Jimmy and see the sun set and the pelicans finding their way home!  and  I do plan to do that.
Hope that you have been able  to have a relaxing Saturday too.

Thank the Good Lord for another Good day.
Today I showed property to folks that I have sold to 20 years ago.  It is good to still have folks that think you did a good job for them then and I hope that I can still do good for work them now.
They are choosing to move back to Oak Island after building their dream home on the banks of a river in  Tennessee..
 
Then I have 4 "come and list my house" calls.  WE worked all afternoon going CMA's f or these 4 folks and I will g o and  see them next … (1 comments)

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Southport~Our Paradise - 05/31/15 08:40 AM
 
This is a wonderful view of the Waterfront in Southport. This is where the filming of "Safe Haven" took place. WE are getting used to all of the Actors and Actressess coming to our quaint fishing village and making Movie that all enjoy.
 
WE actually have shrimpers and fishermen to use Southport as a home base for their industry.  Late in the afternoons you can go to the docks and pick up fresh seafood for Dinner.
 
 
Then you can pop on over to the Ocean for a quick dip in  the water.  Cool and refreshing swim before you lay out and catch some … (5 comments)

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: I Am Afraid of MySpace, Are YOU? - 04/07/15 10:23 AM
 
 
I just had a scary thing to happen to me with Myspace.  I sent up my profile a month or so ago and needed to update some information.  Someone had gotten into my space and had placed some suggestive pictures and changed my profile all around.  I would have just died of embarrassment if one of my owners saw that mess. 
Can anyone share with me what could have happened?

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Timing is everything.... - 09/08/12 02:25 AM
Timing is everything.  I have a client, whose former business was advertising.  Just the other day, he said, Ginger you must get the word out.  It is the time to BUY.  Interest rates are at an all time low, and prices of real estate are unbelievable.
He is right.  So in my next ad, I put the words on the AD and I am receiving calls ...from, buyers, seller and other agents.
 
Maybe there is something to telling the world...that it is time to buy!

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Condo Associations foreclosing on units - 04/02/11 10:33 AM
Condo Associations
Have you ever heard of a condo association foreclosing on a condo and then buying it with dues of the owners?
We are having something like that going on here and I do not know who to go to for help.  I can't help but think that this is wrong.  Have rules changed....if they have, I feel that human decency has eluded us.
I have great concern for the folks that lost their unit even though they were trying to work out a payment schedule with the association.

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: March is Marching on! - 03/09/11 01:56 PM

March comes in like a lamb here on the eastern coast of North Carolina.  I have always heard that if March come in like a lamb...that it goes out like a Lion.
Well...March has come in like a Lion...I hope it goes out like a Lamb...Spring will be here...
We need a break here and need for the sun to continue to shine and the temperatures to rise...and for folks to come and see the beautiful North Carolina Coast of Oak Island....in Brunswick County.
Come see us..

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: How do you get to have a featured post? - 01/09/11 11:02 AM
I am stilll trying to be successful with AR and try new things a lot.
I see where some of our folks get to have a featured post.  Is that measured from the content of the post, or the number of hits or what?
I read them and think that they had written an exceptional post and enjoy them.
Any hints or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Just wondering.

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Duty Time today...Wow! - 01/06/11 09:59 AM
Well, I had my first duty day today and it was awesome.  I was only on duty from 2:30 till 5:00 and I have 4 sales calls.   Can I tell you how many calls I usually get during the "Opportunity Time Slot"?  Zilch.. So if this is any kind of an indicator..we will have a good year in 2011.
Since January 1, 2011, I have listed one lot, re-listed 4 properties and show property to buyers 2 days in a row.
Let me know if you are feeling this also.

Good Morning Southport!
It is another great day in Southport NC...
WE are on the Beaver Dam Creek that goes into the IntraCoastal Waterway that goes into the Cape Fear River that goes into the Atlantic Ocean.  The way "the crow flies", we are 2 miles from the Ocean.
Talk about a great place to live...this is IT!
WE had snow flurries yesterday morning....nothing this morning.  It was beautifuol as it was coming down.
Glad it is gone now.
In the afternoon, we go and sit on the dock and catch up with the events of the day and watch the … (0 comments)

 Dear God, I pray for the cure of cancer. Amen.

ginger harper agent in brunswick county: Active Rain Points - 12/22/10 12:59 PM
Active rain Points
It is so much fun to see our points grow...from the beginning to what we have now.
You can learn so much from your active rain associates. Many have really neat information that can give you a link or idea that you can then explore.  I feel that I am not alone and that there are other Active rain folks just like me, needing new ideas or remembering the old tried and true systems that have worked for along time.
WE can learn from each other.
Share..and I will too.
